Site time

For those of you in areas using Daylight Savings Time, please adjust the Board Time to Standard time. This is done from your user Control Panel>Board Preferences.

EDIT: If the Forum time matches your local time there is nothing to do.

You've got me here, on the standard time part. Australia has several time zones and Tasmania jumps into Daylight Savings first I believe, given the latitude.

The attached reads as the correct time locally for me. So this post comes shortly after the captured image, at 9:47am.

The above post also displays the correct post time for me, locally.

If you board time matches your correct local time, nothing to do.
Standard Time is the designation The USA uses vs. Daylight Savings Time.

Radio broadcasters have fun here trying to reconcile the various state and territory time calls. Thanks kindly

Rich - your original post is correct for the Northern Hemisphere - south of the Equator, the switch is the opposite way.

Where is the clock on the forum? How do I know what is the right time and what does he wrong time do?

Last time I looked at the forum code it writes machine date in the database and translates that when displayed.

Nonsense. It is exactly the same. Plus, what you see as Forum Time differs depending upon whether you have logged in or not.
